Data doesn't show in the dataform

[Kamal Mostofi]

Hi,

I created a page to find out more about telerik dataform. Below is the code

<telerik:RadDomainDataSource x:Name="dsbijslogans" QueryName="GetSlogans"  AutoLoad="True" >

           <telerik:RadDomainDataSource.DataContext>

               <ds:SloganServices></ds:SloganServices>

           </telerik:RadDomainDataSource.DataContext>

       </telerik:RadDomainDataSource>

       <Border x:Name="ContentBorder"  Style="{StaticResource ContentBorderStyle}">

           <telerik:RadDataForm telerik:Theming.Theme="Office_Blue" AutoGenerateFields="False" ItemsSource="{Binding dsbijslogans}" Background="Transparent" Header="Home Page Slogans" Margin="50"  >

               <telerik:RadDataForm.ReadOnlyTemplate>

                   <DataTemplate>
<telerik:DataFormDataField DataMemberBinding="{Binding slogans, Mode=TwoWay}" Label="Slogans" Foreground="SlateGray"></telerik:DataFormDataField>

                   </DataTemplate>

               </telerik:RadDataForm.ReadOnlyTemplate>

           </telerik:RadDataForm>

       </Border>

When I run the application, the form is blank. If I set AutoGenerateFields to true and remove ReadOnlyTemplate, the form is still blank. The data source query is fine.
Have I missing anything in my xamle code?
Do I have to load the datasource in the Load Page in code behind?

Thanks for your help.

It seems to me that your Itemssource is not corectly bound

when you are binding to another element in the page you need to us "elementname="
like so:

ItemsSource="{Binding DataView, ElementName=dsbijslogans}"

Hello dco,

thanks for your reply.
I changed telerik domain datasource with ria domain datasource, and it worked. I don't know what i missed in telerik domain data source that it didn't run.

<Border x:Name="ContentBorder"  Style="{StaticResource ContentBorderStyle}">

            <telerik:RadDataForm telerik:Theming.Theme="Office_Blue" AutoGenerateFields="False" ItemsSource="{Binding Data, ElementName=sloganDomainDataSource}" Background="Transparent" Header="Home Page Slogans" Margin="50"  >
                <telerik:RadDataForm.ReadOnlyTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <telerik:DataFormDataField DataMemberBinding="{Binding slogans, Mode=TwoWay}" Label="Slogans" Foreground="SlateGray"></telerik:DataFormDataField>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </telerik:RadDataForm.ReadOnlyTemplate>
            </telerik:RadDataForm>

        </Border>
        <riaControls:DomainDataSource AutoLoad="True" d:DesignData="{d:DesignInstance my:Slogan, CreateList=true}" Height="0" LoadedData="sloganDomainDataSource_LoadedData" Name="sloganDomainDataSource" QueryName="GetSlogans" Width="0">
            <riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext>
                <ds:SloganServices />
            </riaControls:DomainDataSource.DomainContext>
        </riaControls:DomainDataSource>

Thanks,
Kam

Hi Kamal Mostofi,

Using ElementName in this scenario is required since the DomainService is not DataContext of the DataForm.  Using "{Binding dsbijslogans}" means that the binding will  use the DataContext as a source of the binding but in the snippet that you have posted the DataContext property is set.

This is the standard behavior of Bindings that we do not control. More information about Silverlight Binding can be found here.

Hello Milan,

Thanks for your reply. I fixed it as you suggested and I posted preivously. but I am still wondering why it didn't work with Telerik DomainData Services. If I use Ria domaindataservices, I can see the data in Telerik data form but not with Telerik domain control.
